Carlsbad Caversn 2

Our camera doesn't do this place justice. It is 1 1/2 miles to walk around..these caverns were created by rainwater seeping through the cracks and faults in limestone that mixed with hydrogen-sulfide rich water that migrated upward from vast oil and gas fields to the south and east. These formed sulfuric acid which dissolved the limestone and opened up the fractures and faults into huge caverns....geology lesson for today!
